The strategic focus on quality and supply certainty is set to streamline production processes.
- Accelerating on-shoring silicon development allows greater control over supply lines and quality assurance.
- Initiative aligns with North American efforts to bolster local semiconductor industry.
- Job creation expected in Canada and the U.S. as a result of on-shoring.
- Focus on finalizing silicon solutions for higher volume markets enhances potential for growth.
- Dependency on the North American foundry ecosystem may pose risks if local production capacity falls short.
- Challenges remain in transitioning proven designs into scalable production.
Accelerates initiatives to on-shore silicon commercialization and development in advance of the ongoing resurgence in chip manufacturing in
“On-shoring silicon design and development programs allow us to more directly control silicon supply lines, including design and quality assurance. The strategic initiative will bring us closer access to the North American foundry ecosystem,” said
Edgewater Silicon Process & Supply Line Control:
Edgewater’s strategic initiative offers the Company more direct control of its silicon process and supply line, including critical design and quality assurance efforts. It provides closer access to North American foundries both now and in the future — creating more jobs for chip design and QA engineers in
Today, foundries using the most advanced manufacturing process are concentrated outside
Benefits of On-shoring for Edgewater: Quality, Control and Supply Line Certainty
Finalizing silicon development on-shore is the culmination of a multi-year process taking proven designs and cost optimizing silicon solutions for higher volume markets like Residential and Enterprise Wi-Fi. On-shoring enables the Company to more closely monitor quality as designs approach production, also offering supply line certainty and streamlines production management.

About
We make Wi-Fi. Better.
Edgewater’s physical layer Spectrum Slicing allows a frequency band to be divided, or sliced, to enable more radios to operate in a given area. Think of Spectrum Slicing like moving from a single-lane road to a multi-lane highway — regardless of Wi-Fi technology. The recently completed Proof of Concept (PoC) with a major Tier 1 Service Provider showed 7 to 18 times performance gains in
